Electric Mini Cooper reduced engine power

I am writing to report an issue I have recently encountered with my Electric 2023 Mini Cooper. The vehicle is exhibiting reduced engine power, accompanied by the illumination of the check engine light. Could this be indicative of a defective throttle valve, possibly stemming from a faulty accelerator pedal module or internal electronics? Has anyone else encountered similar issues?

I had something similar happen with my Mini Cooper. The check engine light came on, and the acceleration felt sluggish. Did you notice any air flow issues or response delay when pressing the accelerator?

You mentioned a similar issue. Was your problem also related to the throttle body? And if so, what was the eventual solution?

Sounds very similar to what I experienced. While I can't definitively say it's the throttle body without a proper diagnostic, it definitely points in that direction. My advice would be to get it checked out by a professional. They can properly diagnose it and confirm the cause.

I appreciate you confirming my suspicions. The problem was indeed a defective throttle valve. After replacement, the acceleration is smooth again, and the check engine light is off. The replacement cost amounted to 265€.
